Djibouti query.

I have a number of these that are suffering the dreaded
"gum krinkle". I'd like to soak/wash the mucilage from the back
and wondered if anyone knew if any of the colours are fugitive?
Do we consider this paper "quadrille"?

Thanks

Rod,

This one was issued in 1894-1900 under the French protectorate on Cote
Française des Somalis (near Ethiopia).

This is Yvert # 6 on quadrilled paper - CV 4 / 3 Euros
# 6a is on a thick paper - CV 18 / 18 Euros.

The quadrilled papar is very similar to France "Peace & Commerce" Sage
Yvert # 101 that I'm sure you have.

No idea on whether the colours are fugitive, although, these stamps are
not listed by Yvert in their (very limited) list of fugitive colours.

Shouldn't have a tough time soaking these beasties. They are known
for the crackling gum issue you mentioned. Very nasty. I have soaked
a few with good results.

The paper is quadrille. Not used that often. Without a book, France
used it on a 15c Type "Sage" blue.'

A clean stamp is probably worth more than a nasty stamp for this
issue.

Rod,

You can find with this link, a list of stamps with fugitive colours.
http://sbuchfr.free.fr/timbresdeteignent.htm

For the somali coast you have only stamps with surcharge.

Stéphane,

Many thanks for this very interesting page !
I am sure it would be of a great interest as well for the French
speaking forum :
news:fr.rec.philatelie

Would you care to place a post on frp ?

Or even better, to put your page on the FAQ in French ?
